Reid Hoffman (@reidhoffman) is often referred to as "The Oracle
of Silicon Valley" by tech insiders, who look at his
company-building and investing track record (Facebook, Airbnb,
Flickr, etc.) with awe. Reid is Co-Founder and Executive Chairman
of LinkedIn, which has more than 300 million users. He was
previously Executive Vice President at PayPal, which was
purchased by eBay for $1.5 billion. There, he was nicknamed
"firefighter-in-chief" by CEO Peter Thiel. Noted venture
capitalist David Sze says of Reid, "[he] is arguably the most
successful angel investor in the past decade." They are now both
partners at Greylock Partners. In this podcast, he is joined
by Michael McCullough, MD, a close friend, co-founder of
QuestBridge.org, and a successful investor with training as an ER
physician. Michael is as an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCSF
and previously served as the on-call ER physician to the Dalai
Lama. Michael is also a Rhodes Scholar, Kaufman Fellow, and
Ashoka Fellow. An avid meditator, he is particularly interested
in investing in technologies and companies pertaining to the
mind. We cover A LOT, including: Meeting Mark Zuckerberg for the
first time and deciding to invest in Facebook "Fire-fighting" in
startups and beyond Using board games to develop strategy Reid's
view of what Uber has done well and what they could improve Some
of Reid's suggested philosophers for entrepreneurs Non-technical
founders and symbolic systems Going "off algorithm" in the ER to
manage life-and-death decisions The 3 types of CEOs What Reid has
learned from his network, including the founders of Airbnb,
Kiva.org, etc. And, of course, we discuss QuestBridge, as
Reid and I are both on the advisory board. All show notes, links,

brought to you by MeUndies. Have you ever wanted to be
as powerful as a mullet-wearing ninja from the 1980’s, or as
sleek as a black panther in the Amazon? Of course you have, and
that’s where MeUndies comes in. I’ve spent the last 2-3
weeks wearing underwear from these guys 24/7, and
they are the most comfortable and colorful underwear I’ve
ever owned. Their materials are 2x softer than
cotton, as evaluated using the Kawabata method. Check
out MeUndies.com/Tim to see my current faves (some are
awesomely ridiculous) and, while you’re at it, don’t miss
lots of hot ladies wearing MeUndies. This podcast is also
brought to you by 99Designs, the world’s largest
marketplace of graphic designers. Did you know I used 99Designs
to rapid prototype the cover for The 4-Hour
Body? Here are some of the impressive results. Click
